AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND FORKS ND
1008 AM CDT SUN JUN 23 2013

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 1007 AM CDT SUN JUN 23 2013

MADE SOME ADJUSTMENTS TO POPS FOR CURRENT RADAR TRENDS. THE PRECIP
HAS LIFTED OUT OF OUR SOUTHERN COUNTIES AS DRY AIR HAS MOVED
IN...AND THAT AREA SHOULD SEE SOME CLEARING LATER ON TODAY.
FURTHER NORTH...THERE IS STILL A LOT OF MOISTURE CONVERGENCE AND
PRECIP REDEVELOPMENT ALONG THE NORTHERN END OF THE SFC TROUGH
AXIS/FRONTAL BOUNDARY FROM DEVILS LAKE TOWARDS MAYVILLE. MORE
SHOWERS AND STORMS HAVE DEVELOPED IN THE NORTHEASTERN COUNTIES
ALSO AND THINK THAT DEVELOPMENT SHOULD CONTINUE THROUGH MUCH OF
THE DAY AS THE MAIN UPPER LOW KICKS SLOWLY OUT. SEVERITY LATER ON
WILL DEPEND ON DESTABILIZATION...BUT WILL HAVE TO WATCH THE NORTH
FOR ANYTHING GOING UNDER THE MAIN UPPER LOW.

UPDATE ISSUED AT 655 AM CDT SUN JUN 23 2013

AN AREA OF SHOWERS AND EMBEDDED THUNDER CONTINUES TO MOVE SLOWLY
NORTH THIS MORNING. EXPECT A SLOW WEAKENING TREND FOR A FEW
HOURS...BEFORE ACTIVITY INCREASES LATER THIS MORNING AND EARLY
AFTERNOON. NO MAJOR CHANGES TO THE FORECAST WITH THIS UPDATE.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 345 AM CDT SUN JUN 23 2013

THE MAIN CHALLENGE THIS MORNING WILL BE SEVERE STORM THREAT TODAY
AND MORE STORMS POSSIBLE MON NIGHT AND TUE. MODELS ARE IN GOOD
OVERALL AGREEMENT...AND WILL FOLLOW THE HRRR INITIALLY THEN SIDE
WITH THE CONSISTENT GFS.

FOR TODAY...EXPECT AN MCS TO BE ONGOING THIS MORNING MOVING FROM
SW TO NE. THERE COULD BE LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL THIS MORNING IN
THE SOUTH...AND THIS AREA IS QUITE SATURATED SO WILL CONTINUE WITH
THE FLASH FLOOD WARNING UNTIL 12Z. THERE COULD BE A MORE ORGANIZED
SEVERE THREAT BY EARLY AFTERNOON MAINLY IN THE MN COUNTIES ALONG A
COLD FRONT...MLCAPE TO AROUND 2000 J/KG AND AMPLE DEEP LAYERED
SHEAR. THE MAIN THREATS SHOULD BE LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS.

FOR TONIGHT...ANY CONVECTION SHOULD QUICKLY MOVE OUT OF THE
EASTERN AREAS DURING THE EVENING. DRIER AIR WILL ADVECT INTO THE
REGION WITH GENERAL LIGHT WINDS. WILL HAVE TO WATCH FOR PATCHY FOG
IN AREAS THAT GET RAIN...BUT FOR NOW WON/T MENTION WITH AREAL
COVERAGE NOT CERTAIN.

ON MONDAY...EXPECT A DRY AND WARM DAY WITH 850MB TEMPS WARMING TO
AROUND +18C. MOISTURE PROFILES WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE BY AFTERNOON
IN THE WEST AHEAD OF THE NEXT SHORTWAVE.

.LONG TERM...(MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 345 AM CDT SUN JUN 23 2013

FOR MONDAY NIGHT AND TUE...THE THREAT FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL
ONCE AGAIN INCREASE WITH SHORTWAVE ENERGY MOVING THROUGH GENERAL
SW FLOW ALOFT. TIMING STILL REMAINS A QUESTION...BUT THE SEVERE
THREAT COULD ALSO INCREASE AT LEAST IN THE WEST ON TUE...AND WILL
FEEL LIKE SUMMER WITH TEMPS ABOVE NORMAL AND PLENTY OF MOISTURE IN
PLACE.

FOR WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...A LONG WAVE TROUGH AXIS DEVELOPS
OVER THE EASTERN PACIFIC AND THE EASTERN US WHILE A LONG WAVE
RIDGE DEVELOPS OVER THE NORTHERN ROCKIES AND INTO THE CANADIAN
ROCKIES. PATTERN BECOMES MORE NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WITH TIME.

ECMWF BEGINS THE PERIOD AS A FASTER SOLUTION THAN THE GFS. THE ECMWF
MAINTAINS A CONSISTENT FAST BIAS THROUGH THE PERIOD. THE ECMWF HAS
TRENDED WITH FASTER SOLUTIONS OVER THE LAST FEW MODEL RUNS WHILE
THE GFS HAS TRENDED SLOWER. WILL BLEND THE TWO MODELS AND WILL SPEED
UP PRECIPITATION A BIT FROM TODAYS RUN AND MAY KEEP YESTERDAYS RUN
WITH SOME TIME PERIODS.

LITTLE CHANGE TO TEMPS THIS PERIOD FROM YESTERDAYS RUN.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z MONDAY MORNING)
ISSUED AT 655 AM CDT SUN JUN 23 2013

AN AREA OF IFR CIGS/VSBY HAS DEVELOP NEAR BJI AND SHOULD SLOWLY
IMPROVE THIS MORNING. EXPECT AREAS OF SHOWERS AND A FEW STORMS
WITH WINDS SHIFTING TO THE WEST BY LATE MORNING/EARLY AFTERNOON
FROM WEST TO EAST BEHIND A COOL FRONT. DRIER AIR WILL ADVECT INTO
THE REGION BY LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND PRECIP SHOULD END ALONG
WITH VFR CONDITIONS IN ALL AREAS BY LATE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
ISSUED AT 345 AM CDT SUN JUN 23 2013

RIVER RISES CONTINUE IN THE SOUTHERN VALLEY AND WAHPETON IS
NEARING A CREST NEAR MODERATE FLOOD STAGE. ADDITIONAL HEAVY
RAINFALL IS OCCURRING ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHERN BASIN THIS
MORNING...AND ADDITIONAL LOCAL RISES WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED
TODAY ALONG WITH ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAINFALL.
